Plot and Sinopsis:

"American black operations agent James Silva leads a strike team code-named Overwatch to infiltrate a Russian FSB safe house in the United States. Under the supervision of James Bishop, Overwatch's mission is to locate and destroy shipments of caesium before the highly toxic substance can be weaponized to kill thousands. The team successfully kills the occupants, while an Overwatch member is shot dead and Alice Kerr is wounded. One of the boys falls out of an explosion after unsuccessfully trying to save all of the caesium. Silva executes the boy who pleads not to be killed.

Sixteen months later, Indonesian police officer Li Noor surrenders himself at the U.S. embassy to negotiate for passage out of the country in exchange for information. Noor is revealed to be Alice's asset and reveals that the disc contains the information regarding the last caesium, but he negotiates for passage out of the country in exchange for the code. The information in the disc is destroying itself and will be rendered useless in a few hours. While Noor is being tested, Alice tries to come to terms with her family issues. Axel, leading a team from the Indonesian State Intelligence Agency, arrives at the embassy and demands that Noor be handed over. Meanwhile, Noor fends off an assassination attempt by Indonesian agents. Overwatch operative Sam Snow and Alice arrive, shocked at his combat prowess, learning that Noor used to be a member of Indonesian Special Forces.

Silva agrees to take Noor to an airplane at an airstrip 22 miles away. While they are driving, Noor reveals his reasons for turning on the Indonesian government: The government had been corrupt and killed his family. While driving, the camera Bishop was looking at blacks out, then comes on again. During the camera blackout, Axel has his men put bombs on the car, making it explode. While Silva's team helps fend off Axel's men, Sam is mortally injured. After defeating most of Axel's men, Silva gives Sam two grenades, and leaves her, letting her suicide-attack the remaining henchmen.

Silva, Noor, Alice, and Douglas enter a restaurant. Silva sees Axel, and confronts him, even though Bishop tells him not to. Axel tells Silva to give up Noor, but Silva refuses, and walks away.

Silva brushes past two girls, and realizes that there is a grenade in the restaurant, and tackles down civilians before it explodes. When the dust clears, Douglas is severely wounded, and Silva is attacked by the same girls, only for Noor to save Silva by killing them. They drive to a safehouse, where Douglas dies while holding off Axel's men.

While entering the safehouse, Alice is separated and meets a girl in an apartment. Alice and the girl escape harm by using booby-trapped grenades. Meanwhile, Silva and Noor split up, fighting Axel and his henchmen respectively. Silva and Noor meet up again, and meet the girl Alice saved. She leads them to Alice, who is nearly killed by Axel's henchman before Noor intervenes—saving Alice and killing the henchmen by shooting him in the head.

On the way to the airstrip, the remaining team members are briefly confronted by Axel. Silva has Overwatch kill Axel by destroying his car with a ""Hand of God"" drone strike. The team barely make it to the airplane, where Noor and Alice board the airplane to meet her family once again.

While on the airplane, Bishop notices Noor's heart rate is accelerating and it is revealed that Noor isn't a double agent, but a triple agent working for the Russian government, and the boy Silva killed was the son of a high-ranking female Russian general. The official hired Noor to give Alice the wrong information so they would trust him, and just as Alice is realizing this, Overwatch is ambushed, and the entire team is shot. Bishop barely escapes, and rests outside while Alice's fate is left unknown. Silva realizes this too late and tells his experience during a post-mission debriefing.
